RG KAR TRAGEDY

KOLKATA, Dec 13: The Sealdah court on Friday granted bail to former officer-in-charge of Tala police station Abhijit Mondal and RG Kar hospital ex-principal Sandip Ghosh in the rape and murder case of an on-duty doctor at the medical facility.
The additional chief judicial magistrate granted bail to the two accused persons as the chargesheet against them was not filed within the mandatory 90-day period, a lawyer representing Ghosh said.
The court granted bail to Ghosh and Mondal on bail bonds of Rs 2,000 each and directed them to cooperate with the investigation.
While Mondal was accused of alleged delay in filing of FIR in the case, Ghosh was charged with tampering of evidence.
The post-graduate trainee was raped and murdered, and her body was found in the seminar room of the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9.
Ghosh and Mondal were arrested by the CBI, which is investigating the case on an order of the Calcutta High Court.
Mondal’s lawyer told reporters outside the court that he will walk out of the correctional home where he is incarcerated on judicial remand.
Ghosh, who is on judicial remand in another case of alleged financial irregularities at RG Kar hospital, will, however, remain behind bars despite being granted bail in the rape-murder case.
The CBI submitted before the court that investigation in the case was in progress. (PTI)
